BODY EXPRESSIONS WITH HAND: 'GIVE A (BIG) HAND

Hello again and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you're having a good day. 

Today we continue with our expressions that use the word hand. Today's expression is similar to yesterday's expression, but with a different meaning in the right context.

Today's Expression is: to give a (big) hand

It means: to clap your hands to show that you have enjoyed a performance.

In case you didn't know, the verb "clap" means aplaudir in Spanish and it's what we do when we approve of a performance that we've seen.

Example 1: Thank you for coming tonight, ladies and gentlemen. And now, let's give a big hand to all of the people who helped make this event possible.

Example 2: I was surprised when the crowd gave him a hand; he really didn't do anything interesting.
